Alert me about debates like this

Mr. BRAITHWAITE:

The hon. Member is entitled to make that intervention. All I have said is that this process of selling short on tin will be one upon which the hon. Member can assist the House, it is a matter with which he is extremely familiar in his ordinary business. I have in my hand certain documents issued by the firm with which he is connected, and I desire to do no more than point out that if we are engaged in getting rid of abuses to which the country objects then there is nothing to choose between gambling on a bull tack and gambling on a bear tack. The hon. Member with his knowledge of this matter, and in view of the kind of document which has been given out—there is one in the name of his own firm—will be able to supply us with some information about that particular propaganda.
